This year, I again competed in the Le Mans 24 Hour with Equipe Vitesse and we again won. At this attempt I again qualified on pole and broke the lap record by 3 seconds! I have also won the Buckmore Park Man of Steel for the 2nd consecutive year.

I competed in the National Karting Association semi finals and won and went onto the final where I won 2 heats, finished 2nd in the other 2 heats which eventually put me 2nd on the grid. Apart from meeting the tyre wall in the first corner due to some 'over excited' driving from the guy on 3rd, I had a good time, also breaking the lap record!

I am also competing in some of the Club 125 Rotax endurance championship races with Equipe Vitesse (Joe Flay) to get ready for next year.

I have also become an ARKS instructor at Buckmore Park, helping younger ages improve their driving skills, lines and confidence.
